Talking Away...

Obviously I've been a slacker lately. We just moved and I am about to have a baby so its acceptable, right?! I will try and catch up sometime soon.

But here are a few funny things Mac has said the past few days that hopefully will give you a little chuckle like they did me:

Anytime he has a broom or cleaning supply of any kind he says, "I gettin busy, mom". I hope this isn't because when I have those things I usually say something like, "Mac, I'm busy right now".

The other afternoon I heard a crazy noise coming from upstairs when Mac was suppose to be sleeping. So I hustled up there and on my way up realized he was jumping in his crib. So I listened for a second and heard him say, "I am crazy. SO crazy. Jump. Jump. I crazy". What a silly boy!

He is surely in that age where new vocabulary is coming to him everyday and he is loving being able to talk. It is has been such a pleasure to watch him grow and learn so quick. I think he is getting himself ready for the new baby. Sure do love this boy!

Dinner??

I just asked Mac what he wanted for dinner. His response? "CUPCAKES!!!!!" I hope this isn't a reflection of his pregnant mamma.

Our Favorite Hang Out

Mac and I have a favorite hang out. We go there at least 3 times a week. It is called yhe Crazy Cazier Castle. Mac asks specifically to go when we drive anywhere close to it. We LOVE playing there. Our best of buds happen to live there and it is always a party when we go. Here are some things we do there:

Sure do love those Crazy Caziers!

As Always, Some Randomness...

Good News! After cooking curry on Thursday (today is Saturday) our house is finally losing the stench:) And that is after I have had the windows open 24/7 since then. But it was sure good! Even Candace and Brett enjoyed it. We are SO lucky to have such great friends in Texas. It was a huge blessing to be able to make friends so fast here. There are SO many people I just love and adore and whom I am so thankful for! Love you all!!

Speaking of good friends... My good friend Candace took some pics of my large and in charge belly the other day. They turned out so cute. Here are a few:

These 2 boys are such good buds. Glad to have so many little friends around for Mac. He is one lucky boy.

And I guess it would be good to mention that I am due June 22nd so I have about 6 weeks left. And did I not tell you that belly was large and in charge?! 

Living in Texas Has its Perks!!

The good thing about living in Texas is that we get visitors!! Devan's parents and Dallin came a few weeks ago and let me tell you that we had a blast! Mac absolutely LOVED having them here and made a quick pal with Dal. Now (a few weeks later) he constantly is asking for him. We knew that since this was Dallin and Kelly's first time flying and everyone's first time to Texas that we had to show them a good time. And that we did. Here are a few random pictures from their visit:

We went to the Botanical Gardens and Mac found a fun log to crawl through.

Can't pass up the Stockyards. It is a classic!

Sorry for the crooked pic- but this is at Coopers. A MUST with visitors!

 

The zoo was a blast. And even though Mac was tired he was such a trooper!  

Handsome Dal! So studly. And the hooray for elephants.

This is for my Bestie! Love you, Maili!

"Bob and Nana"

Our lovely group. Nice, Big Mac:)

And this is what happens with a REALLY sleepy boy. The look on his face said to me, "I really don't want to be asleep and I tried so hard not to but I just couldn't help it!"

We have a crazy connection with the Cazier's in our ward since Janessa's family lived in Holden and Devan actually knows several of her siblings. So we took the troops out to see the larger troops at Mineral Wells where the Caziers were camping. It was a blast. I sure do love those kids and Mac just adores them. 

More zoo pics. This is sure wild!

More at the Stockyards. Do you think he has a career in Bull Riding (as his mother I sure hope not)? 

It was so fun to have them here and we were all sad to see them leave. We also went to a Ranger's game, ate at Mooyah and had an all around good time. Sure love those guys. And if anyone else wants to come visit we will show you just as good of a time! 

Missing My Friend Logan!

Logan, Utah is where I spent 8 years of my life. It became much more than just a place I lived for awhile. It was a dear friend of mine and I really miss it sometime. There are so many reasons I miss Logan. Here are a few:

 Bruiser

 Miles

 These kiddos, and this swing, 

 Such amazing friends for me and Mac

 These weird friends:)

 Fall leaves (I haven't missed them yet, but I know I will come October)

 Great friends

 My BFF

 Bruiser, the sunshine, and this backyard (I still tear up when I think of missing Sunday Dinner)

 THE MOUNTAINS. This has been one of the hardest changes! As I was scrolling through these pictures Mac said, "Mountain". We will have to visit them often to make sure he still knows what they are in a few years.

 A beautiful Temple so close

 A perfect little house at 59 N

 Tanta. One of my dearest friends!!!!

 These FUN kiddos

The 200 step walk to the Hales.

These were a few pictures I had on hand to post but I sure do love Logan and have so many more people I miss than just the few pictures I posted. Don't get me wrong, I have really enjoyed Texas so far and don't want to move back to Logan, I am just missing it a little. Thank you Logan for an amazing college experience, wonderful people, great weather, and beautiful scenery. You were so good to me. 

Life Goal Accomplished!

I have wanted to donate my hair as long as I can remember. I have been serious about it for the past 3 years and have been telling Devan about every month or so for those past years to get ready for it. Well, here are the results

The before (and yes I tried to look like one of those dramatic infomercials where the people have no make-up on and don't smile in the before picture):

The Middle: 11 inches of hair!!!

The after (still not the best picture but you get the idea. And jsyk, it is a lot shorter in the back. It a-lines up in the back. 

I am loving it so far!
